Why do computers start to slow down over time?
In: 1180
The device in charge of storing your operative system and other software has certain speed to load up these programs into memory. Most computers use Hard Disk Drives (HDD) as storage devices. HDDs become rapidly slow over time. Most HDDs usually become slower and slower until the operative system and other programs takes several minutes to load. Usual lifespan for HDDs are 4-5 years. In most cases computer performance is recovered by changing the storage to a Solid State Drive or a new HDD.
